League

Each side plays each other side twice. Thirty matches decide the seeds. The points custom in previous seasons was two for a win. The Season 5 PDF was not confirmed in the sources checked on 30 October 2026.

Playing XI

The league has published an allowance of up to nine overseas players in a playing XI. Treat that as the standing rule until a Season 5 conditions sheet says otherwise. Local designation still matters, which is why UAE players are not trivia on the squad lists.
